What’s Inside: A bite-sized version of a Southern classic, these Chicken & Waffles Sliders are finger-licking good!

Easy Chicken & Waffles Sliders

Chicken & Waffles is one of my favorite flavor combinations – it is the best combination of savory and sweet, especially with well-seasoned chicken. Plus, it’s one of those special dishes that you can eat any time of day: breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner!

I wanted to come up with a low-prep party version that wouldn’t require making fried chicken or waffles from scratch, but would still be fun and delicious. These quick and easy Chicken & Waffles Sliders fit the bill perfectly!

Now, I have an amazing Copycat KFC recipe on my other site that is perfect if you don’t mind working for your chicken and waffles or would prefer from-scratch breaded chicken, but on this particular day, I just wanted to take it nice and easy.

Using premade chicken nuggets and mini waffles, this easy party appetizer comes together quickly — ready from start to finish in 20 minutes or less.

It’s a perfect kids’ kitchen recipe — they can help make it for a party, a playdate, or just family movie night. (I would just let the chicken nuggets cool a bit before having the kids assemble the sliders.)

We hope you love this fun twist on a Southern food favorite just as much as we do!
